Melodic Realm is a bottle designed for baijiu, a traditional Chinese spirit. The form is inspired by a Tang Dynasty gilded octagonal cup with musician motifs, and the eight-sided structure is reproduced in ceramic fired at high temperature. A physical vapor deposition coating gives the surface a gold-toned metallic luster with high hardness and good resistance to corrosion. Relief carvings of Han and other musicians run along the eight sides, recalling a scene of music playing from all directions. A clear acrylic case allows display from every side.
